Not a Through Street WilliamHuhn

Though others slept she could not sleep and went out walking on not a through street

As white as stars when winter blows was night as dark as a flock of crows her sorrow cold as summer's heat when she went walking on not a through street

Children of candy soldiers of home she dreamt of not being alone but tried her heart at least to keep while walking along on not a through street
